Following are interviews giving an Index
to popular opinion on the subJect :
I , . L. Perine-Tho policy outlined by this
J . bill would ! bo a great mlstnke. I would be a
, " . step backward Instead of ( or ward. The
pol co commission Is wel provided for by the
plesenl law and I would be an Injury to the
J . cIty to rem\ the ( mayor from the board , or
t . to Ilsllace the present chic of the fro de-
- - nnrtm.nt
I , " - A. mTmnector : of the hector & Wihelmy
; ' Company-'s I understand this bill Hs uns-
, , sage would 'bo a most reprehensible Ilroceet-
I lng I believe In leaving the law just as Il
t ' Is : I seems to inc that the Iloplo of this
, city do not , suUclenty realve What Is con-
1
; templated. The Commercial club sllu1d
; , take the ( mater UIJ antI a mass meetIng
i ' should , be held ant the 1trongesl hind of
reloluton adopted urging the governor to
veto the bill.
; . Robert Cowel of the IWpatrlcl-Koch Coma
, pny-I have not taken much Interest In the
i hIlt because We expect to leave the cIty
. shortly. I wo intended to remain I would
, feel like getting out among the busIness men
' . ali trying to get them together to oppose
Its passa"e. I Is a very l.advlsCI Piece of
r " legislation. Displace Chief Redel and \ vii
, , : i . would get lie same high Insurance rates that
have crippled the Jobbers of ( lie cIty during
,
the two .
; past years.
, . DenJamln Galagher of Paxton & Gallagher
-I don't like It. This bill Is not being
passed for nothing and when lie politicIans
gel hell hero will be no eli to It.
Cadet Trylor-I believe the law should be
, Icf just as It Is. I ahould be particularly op-
,
pcsed to any change In the present head of
the fire deparunel !
E. E. howell-LIke other Insurance men I ,
. , should note . see Hedel remove' ' ! I
weull undoubtedly lead to a renewal of the
hhh rates , which have only recently been re-
mo\'cd
St A. D. flalcombe-It seems apparent Chat
nedel Is a frst.class fre chief and as a
property 0\ ncr I should regret any leglslu-
: ( ion that waul remove him.

I
mayor cIT the board , thins repudiating the '
member whom the people elect as u commissioner -
missioner as wel as mayor. There Is nothIng -
Ing radically wrong In the present system of

Adolph MeycrI Is an outrage and I have

C. J. Knrhach-I . am opposed to any
change In the present Rystem. There Is no
. necessity for such a procedure. I Is evidently -
, denty Inspired by political reaaons.
' D. Clem Deaver-Tho bIll Is the product of
the brain of the ring republIcans o ( thIs city ,
who hDo to plunge the fire and police sys-
; tern Into unclean 11Itcs for the purpose of
assIsting the ring to gel control of the city
government at the next electIon. Such a
law was never mentioned during the cam- ,
- IJlgn last fall , and just because we cleaned
out their man for govern .r they want to re-
tlato by taking power from him that the
( . people by their votes delegated to Governor
Iloieonib Thl prete'nslol of the promote

DUCKING Tim BUCKET SIOP ILL ,
Cahlwel renewed his moten to go Into
committee or the whole t ( consider the anti-
grall gambling bill. ami. aler : some little
discussion his proposition wa agreed to I
There was but one word to Insert In this bill
In order to correct tie ( clerical error. The
neceSry amendment vas SOOI made and
Caldwel mo\ed that the committee . rise wIth
the reeommcndaton that the bill do pass a
amended.
The motion was the signal for an energetic
debate. Wright of Lancaster leil off with
ni attack UIOn the bill . II which he asserte'l
that It was another blow aimed at a legi I- '
mate busllcss In the state. lie declared that
whIle It might bo true hat there ere a few
bucket shops that should be sulipressad. as a
whole thc grain commission business was ant
which hall grown to large proportions II the
larger cites of the stale and one which re-
suIted In bettor pries lo every farmer for
his grain.
Caldwel raid that he was surprised to
learn that any senator could be found who
would be willing to defend the iniquitous
business or the grain gamblers. lie declared
that nearly every city and town of any consequence -
sequence In the state hail been Invaded by
representatf'es of these alleged commission
houses and In nearly every one ' of those
towns could be foduti largo numbers of men
who had been ruined by gamblIng In grain.
The leases 'to ciizens of ' 1ebrak . ho"d -
dared , would amount tb $1,000,000 per an-
'nul , In many cases where the Investments
through these commission houses had been
successful the commlssl firms had fallen
back upon the convenIent expedient of fai-
Ing , thus swlllng theIr' patrons out of their
earnings Lie hoped thnt the bill would become .
come a law without deIa.
Pope made an elaborate argument against
the whole bill. lie sa.ll that tie bill proposed -
posed to convict men guilty of no crime
whatever of the crhle' ) . gambling. Dealing
In grain through a regularly establlhed COmmission -
mission house wes nbC n cessarly a crimInal
act. neither could It bl said that the men
engaged In the business , ver gamblers. ThE
most or the commIssionfirms doing business
In the larger cites of the state were oem-
bels of the Doart of Trlde In ChIcago All
their transactions with : thelr patrons were
made on the basis of written and signed con-
tracts. I Is chargell that the business of
buying and selling grain on margins Is purely
fictitious , and that no grain ever changes
hands. 'fho senator granted thal Il might br
true hint In the majority of canes the gain
dId nol change bands. But every transaction
between these commission house Is based
upon written and signed contracts , and In
each and every case the buyer or seller may
Insist upon the actual delivery of time grain.
Sloan slJole upon the legal aspects of the
bill. lie said that the Nebraska supreme
court hall In three separate cases decided
positively that the contracts referred to by
POlle were gambJlng contracts , and could
not bo enforeet by law. lie thought the legIslature
